“...The play is almost a
cartoon, a succession of brief scenes—some Stan Mack-realistic,
some perfectly absurd—separated by blackouts. A young, hip
suburban couple sits at home on Halloween watching T V, greeting
trick-or-treaters, drinking, quarreling, and so on, while two
all-purpose alter-egos known as `the Witch' and `the Beast' make
strange appearances....
...the play makes for a funny
and theatrical evening; it has the something's-creepy-in-suburbia
air of Sam Shepard's BURIED CHILD, and the quick takes and
precisely overheard dialogue of David Mamet's SEXUAL PERVERSITY
IN CHICAGO....”

“...an intriguing new play
by Jeffrey M Jones that is a semi-random compilation of
episodes....
It is a wonderfully inventive play, very comic and almost silly In
its theatricality, but it is also an intensely anguished play about a marriage
that is dying of familiarity. This is an autobiographical piece, so terribly
personal that it makes the heart ache with sympathy. Jones is writing about his
own failed marriage, blending realism with psychological fantasy and a bit of
grisly horror....”
